Invite John Armstrong to Speak at Your Church or Event We receive scores of invitations for John Armstrong to speak during the course of a year. Each invitation, regardless of the size of the church or inviting group, is carefully read, prayed over, and responded to by our staff and board. Our sincere desire is to give priority to those ministries that best fulfill our stated mission and commitments. If you have already read our stated mission and commitments, you can fill out our online speaking request form now. ACT 3 is a ministry to equip leaders for unity in Christ's mission. We express this purpose through four core convictions:   1. The missional character of the church We believe that the life and witness of the church should be thoroughly shaped by its participation in the mission of God to reconcile the world to himself in Jesus Christ, and by the call of Jesus to be the people of God sent into the world to proclaim and live out the gospel. 2. The primary of Scripture We believe that Scripture is inspired by God and as such is infallible and authoritative for the life and witness of the church throughout history and across cultures.  3. The indispensable significance of the Christian tradition We affirm the summary of Christian faith taught in the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed and are committed to seeking wisdom from the history and traditions of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church. 4. The necessity of cultural engagement We are committed to ongoing engagement with culture and the world for the sake or our witness to the gospel and continual learning from Christians in other cultural settings. ACT 3 is deeply committed to enabling Christians leaders to exegete both culture and Scripture in order to speak into our present context in ways that are faithful to the missional purposes of God as revealed in Holy Scripture. We do this by teaching leaders how to connect Jesus' prayer for unity (John 17) with his commission to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28).
